External links used inappropriately
Please skim over WP:EXT, at least the lead section. Wikipedia prefers internal links whenever possible, and rarely accepts external links in the body of an article. I have reverted your edits for the time being for that reason; you may want to try using  for terms that you feel other readers may not understand and adding your links as citations to the article on that topic. Thank you. ⁓ Hello  71  12:19, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Andy Dingley. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Malleable iron, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Bicycle touring. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Qwfp (talk) 21:21, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

I have reverted your reference placed before a section heading in Travel agency. Clearly it does not belong there. It disrupted the formatting. If this is simply a general link that does not support any text, it should only be in external links and only then if it meets the criteria described in the above message. I am not leaving a formal warning this time in the event you may have wanted to place it at text related to the link or it is a valid external link. I do ask you to be careful in view of the explanation above or other warning messages may be placed. Donner60 (talk) 21:50, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
